Re: Politics and the Church
Can we put these comments into the context of the day. After 9/11 Bush wanted to go to war with Iraq (I see this as an oil grab, but whatever his reason, WMD, whatever). In order to do that he needed Saudi Arabia to allow the heathen armies of the West to step foot on their soil and set up base. (Please note I am not trying to hint at any disingenuousness on Bush's part due to his investments, close family ties, or close links to big oil). To make things worse our armies include women, who are allowed to drive, etc. There was a lot of political backlash to the Saudi's for allowing us to desecrate the holy land of Islam. So at this very same time Bush was talking up this "Islam means Peace" angle.
Yes it took place right after this major attack (which the official story completely violates the laws of physics) which is alleged to have been perpetrated by a bunch of guys with box cutters who usually live in caves. But it was also immediately before the US needed Saudi approval to set up military bases to fight Iraq on the false claim that they were behind the attack.
